Tuesday....

[Staashi 371]

OOOOH last night I bought an organic, free-range, pre-brined turkey from Trader Joe's.

Going to stuff it with southern type stuffing (my mom's recipe) Half cornbread half regular bread and veggies/nuts.

Then I'm making homemade rolls.

Green beans sauteed with onions, cream, and with slivered almonds

mixed root mash (potato, carrot, turnip, sweet potato, or whatever i pick)

gravy

cranberry sauce

and homemade pecan pie!

Nothing too out of the ordinary. Just yummy homemade stuff! There's only a few of us so I can't go all out and make too many things.

What about you? Are you cooking?!

Yes, my father and I are cooking! Letting my MIL rest and enjoy her first Thanksgiving! She of course will insist on helping I'm sure!

Turkey and my fathers "secret" recipe stuffing...Always to die for and we typically fight for the left overs! We will have traditional foods too! Mash, gravy, homemade mac n cheese, cranberry, and I'm thinking to try my hand at a homemade carmel apple pie (or run out to Costco! LOL) depends on my time tomorrow. My friend from work is bringing his famous meatballs (OMG SOOO GOOD)...He serves them as an appetizer in a crock pot...on the sweeter side (the sauce) sooo yummy!

We have a small group at first but as the night goes on we have our dessert party...so I think everyone around after their dinners w/ family will stop by for drinks and dessert. So I'm still thinking to do that hot chocolate bar you mentioned!

Fire pit and torches will be lit up and of course, sheesha flowing!

On a funny note...my friend from work that is coming is gay and my MIL is here now. So my friend, hubby and I decided to see if she has "Gaydar" and can figure it out. Should be hella funny! He's such a doll baby I'm sure she will know just by his over the top personality and affectionate spirit!

I'm so glad I mentioned that to you...I think it will be awesome!

Staashi I knew it was you I think I wrote your name, erased and then wrote you thinking I was talking to you. I need this time off!

No problem girl...I hope you all have a great thanksgiving. Funny story, the other day at work someone said to me, so what will your husband's family do for Thanksgiving in Argentina? I just looked at them and said, "Nothing, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving there." "Oh, no??" "Oh yes!" I was like -

Thursday for our 'msn chat date' I will serve him a traditional Thanksgiving dinner one pic at a time. I started a folder and putting in it pictures of the most colorful salads, a golden brown turkey with stuffing hanging out the birds butt. I will 'serve' him one course at a time and in this way we will share our first Thanksgiving together. It's not perfect but its all we have at the moment. (sure hope he don't expect me to cook a dinner like this next year..lol)

I want a shisha thing wicked bad! Everytime we go to the Arab store I look at it and nudge hubby but always get a big fat NO! He HATES when women smoke but I think it would be sooo cool to sit out on the back porch in the spring/summer lighting up the hooka!!!

I know! Then someone asked if his family in Argentina celebrates Christmas? I wanted to slap them for stupidity.

My MIL brought three shisha sets w/ her on her trip! They are so beautiful plus I had a few from other trips. We set them up for everyone in the back yard and chill out under the stars! I'm glad my hubster doesn't mind Although strangely if it were a cigarette he'd have a stroke(then again, so would i) !
